Obligatory farewell post

[Chewy]

In the grand tradition of MTC I am making my farewell (for now) post. This one will be a little different as I am not here to dump on the Maverick. I had no problems with my ‘23 for the year and a half I had it. I really had no thought of getting rid of it until last week.

The idea of a ‘25 crossed my mind so for grins I checked what Carvana would give me for my Mav. I was shocked that I could get more than I paid OTD. Then the idea of a new one became very real.

I went to my dealer the next day to check them out and see what they would give on trade. They would give me what I paid but the new Mavs are quite a bit more. Then my guy, knowing I’m always looking for a good deal, told me the best deal was on the ’25 Escape PHEV for Ford A/Z plan buyers. The Escape plug-in hybrid I purchased has a sticker of $39895. With the A/Z plan stack of incentives, I got it for $28220 out the door. I don’t blame you if you don’t believe me because I still can’t believe it. After my trade it cost me $1400.

For that $1400 I gained:
new 3 year warranty
dual zone climate control
intelligent access with push button start
remote start
adaptive cruise control
BLIS with rear cross-traffic braking
evasive steering assist
intersection assist
lane keeping system
rear parking sensors
heated steering wheel
heated seats
fog lights
one touch up and down power windows front and rear
sync 4 with 13.2” capacitive touch screen
Wireless Carplay
power driver’s seat
plug-in hybrid system with 35 miles of electric only driving

For the money, with the pile of incentives on this, it is a much nicer vehicle. I know it’s not a truck. I really didn’t need a truck when I got the Maverick. I got it for its inexpensive price.

I really liked my Maverick but the I am beyond ecstatic with the deal I got on the Escape.

Congrats! The interiors of the Escapes are much nicer.

Yes, but....it's NOT a truck.

Good luck with the Escape.
It looks nice. Can we get a peek of the interior?
I just wish Ford would make a plug in Maverick. I don't care how good the mileage is on a hybrid. It won't beat 152+ MPG that I had when I sold my Chevy Volt. I hadn't bought gas in a few months. (Cue the stale gas bunch.)
Please check back in on the form and update us on how the Escape is doing for you.
Take Care and Stay Safe

So you are escaping the MTC?

I almost forgot the thing I lost. THE CUBBY!!!

there's no way an Escape-centric forum could be as cool as MTC.

Thank you for the pictures.
If Ford would produce a plug-in Maverick, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

 

[matmondro]

Those seats look really nice!

Rude. Women can be cool, too.
